Abstract

The purpose of this study was to assess the awareness and knowledge of professional team sport athletes about ACL injuries, injury prevention programs, and the return to sports after ACL injuries. A total of 419 athletes representing soccer, basketball, volleyball and handball sports were included in the study. We utilized a 15-item self-report survey to assess the awareness of athletes about ACL injury, ACL injury prevention program, and return to sport after ACL injuries. Male and soccer players participated in prevention programs more than female athletes (p = 0.001). Participation in prevention programs was significantly higher in the ≥ 18 years old group than in the < 18 years old group (p = 0.040). Participants who were informed about ACL injuries were 8.4 times more likely to participate in the ACL injuries prevention program than others (OR: 8.38, 95% CI: 3.823-18.376, p < 0.001). The majority of participants believed that return to sport after ACL injury takes 6 months and 81.4% of them thought that it is not possible to do sport without an ACL. This study revealed that the awareness and performance of ACL prevention training programs among professional team sport athletes were insufficient. The athletes' knowledge regarding return to sports after ACL injuries was also inadequate. Improving athletes' knowledge of ACL injuries may lead to increased participation in ACL injury prevention programs. Thus, the provision of tailored educational interventions to athletes could potentially enhance their awareness and understanding of ACL injuries, consequently contributing towards the prevention of such injuries.

土耳其职业运动员对前十字韧带损伤的了解和认识：在线调查。

本研究旨在评估专业团队运动运动员对前交叉韧带损伤、损伤预防计划以及前交叉韧带损伤后恢复运动的认识和了解。共有 419 名代表足球、篮球、排球和手球项目的运动员参与了这项研究。我们采用 15 项自我报告调查来评估运动员对前交叉韧带损伤、前交叉韧带损伤预防计划和前交叉韧带损伤后重返运动场的认识。男性和足球运动员参与预防计划的比例高于女性运动员（P = 0.001）。年龄≥ 18 岁组参加预防计划的人数明显多于年龄≥ 18 岁组（P = 0.040）。了解前交叉韧带损伤情况的参与者参与前交叉韧带损伤预防计划的可能性是其他人的 8.4 倍（OR：8.38，95% CI：3.823-18.376，p = 0.040）。
